Abstract

Instead of requiring key exchange between a trusted biometric application in a TEE and an external application outside of the TEE that provides access to a secured function, the trusted application is preconfigured with security data such as (in a first implementation) authentication credentials (e.g. a PIN) or (in a second implementation) a cryptographic key. This security data is then used to authenticate a biometric validation obtained by the trusted application to the external application.
